Everything crashing: - Skype (type and right mouse click) - Sparrow (type and wait) - Chrome (address bar) - Safari (address bar) - Tweetbot - Twitter.app - Mac App Store (search bar) - Base (any textbox) - terminal (in the preferences screen) Not crashing: - SublimeText Pretty much each and every text box on the entire system.

The data detectors, at least in my TextEdit were turned off (never touched it before) so typing the aforementioned string doesn't cause any issues. However in my stupidity of attempting to tell you guys that I could type the aforementioned string, I caused Safari to hang. No crash, but it was complete and utterly useless.
Nevermind ... re-ran TextEdit and tried again, immediately crashes. data detectors are still turned off.
so, uh anyone else sense a zero day exploit? ">click me ... not saying that will work, but usually if you can hard crash something you just found some corruption in memory maybe bad use of memcpy, sprintf instead of snprintf... something along those lines...
Highly unlikely. If you look at the backtrace, it's dying on an assert, not some random memory dereference.

I'm typing File:/// in every textbox I could find. This is some weird fun. Way to spend my Saturday morning.

> I wish they'd just fix the bug where typing "~" crashes Terminal.app (depending on your keyboard language) :( How did this bug survive the testing process? Wait. I think I just answered my own question.
It's quite terrible. I even reported it on bugreport.apple.com on 10.8.0, but neither 10.8.1 nor 10.8.2 fixed it. I can't believe there's no-one at Apple using i18n keyboard layouts and Terminal.app. It's not like typing "~" is an uncommon event on the command line.... Meanwhile, VLC fixed the same bug (typing ~ in the VLC.app UI textfields) in about 30 minutes.

(This is true of basically every OSX app there is)
